This parameter defines how VoiceLive 2 derives the
musical information that makes the harmony voices
follow your song. The most common value for this
is AUTO INPUT SENSE which automatically decides
which of the GUITAR IN, MIDI IN and AUX IN you
are currently playing into so it can derive musically
correct harmonies. Changing the value of this parameter
changes the number and organization of settings in the
HARMONY tab. The values are described below:
o AUTO INPUT SENSE - Most harmony presets
are based on this mode. This mode automatically
decides which of the GUITAR IN, MIDI IN and
AUX IN you are currently playing so it can derive
musically correct harmonies from that input.
o GUITAR - This forces the current preset to look
only to the GUITAR IN for musical input. In the
case where you have a MIDI sequencer and guitar
into VoiceLive 2, this will cause it to ignore the
MIDI input for harmony control.
o MIDI - This forces the current preset to look
only to the MIDI IN for musical input. In the case
where you have a MIDI sequencer and guitar into
VoiceLive 2, this will cause it to ignore the guitar
input.
o AUX INPUT - Harmonies will ignore all but this
input if the other inputs are used simultaneously.
o SCALE - Changes the preset to scale mode
which will ignore ongoing musical input from an
instrument in favour of the Key and Scale setting
you need to input. Scale harmonies are a great
alternative to instrument-controlled harmony for
certain songs.
o SHIFT - Many doubling presets that also use
the Harmony block are based on this mode.
SHIFT allows you to pick pitch shift intervals that
fall outside of the standard “musical harmony”
